The weekend is marked by the arrival of the cold wave on the central and southern sectors of the country.

Precipitation will mainly affect the central Adriatic, the South and Sicily, bringing snow to the Apennines, at an altitude of 700-1000 meters. In the North, however, stable weather is expected with fog and low clouds in the Po Valley.

Starting today, Saturday, November 30, temperatures will drop below the seasonal average. Southern Marche, Abruzzo, Molise and Puglia will be particularly exposed to cold currents, while the drop in temperatures and precipitation will gradually move towards the rest of Southern Italy, involving Sicily and Tyrrhenian Calabria. In addition to rain, sudden thunderstorms are not excluded.
Evolution in the next few days
Tomorrow, December 1st, the cold vortex will move further towards the other Mediterranean countries.
